[quote user="Doctor"] Well I actually sort of agree with both of you! I agree that S45-2s will give any small speaker a very good run for its money, but the S45-2 has a volume of 26 litres compared to 4 litres of the Beolab 4000. A similar sized speaker in the passive range would be the CX100! And I know which I would choose! [/quote] I know

[quote user="yachadm"] I definitely disagree on that. Being that powered speakers are a "newish" and recent technology (generally speaking) [...][/quote] Before you disagree, you should have read my post again. I wasn't talking "powered" speakers, I was talking "active" speakers. Although active speakers have

[quote user="evman140"]What really drives me up a wall is the arrogance that people have with Bose. From both sales persons and owners. They seem to think Bose is the answer to everything. "Oh, you have Yamaha + JBL? Well I have Bose..." [/quote] Hmm, that sounds like someone going "Oh, you have a Cannondale + Shimano XLR? Well

Apart from some Beocom phones back in the days, Beolab 5s got me into B&O (I don't have them anymore because of a lack of space presently). I got interested in them, because it's really hard to find "domesticated" active speakers (as opposed to "powered" speakers). I seriously can't listen to passive speakers without

[quote user="propaganda"] ability to reorder [/quote] A slight misread on my part had me thinking about recording. Is it possible to record a radio broadcast (say, p1/bbc1/npr) on that thing, or is that not possible, just like podcasts aren't possible to subscribe to? Besides that, I completely agree with the restriction. I don't want

[quote user="mbee"] @electrified : As Lossless is actually compressed files, there is still hope... [/quote] That's not what one usually refers to when using the word "compressed". Rather, it's usually synonymous with lossy files, such as MP4/AAC, MP3, MP2, ATRAC etc.

Third time's a charm - My post has been disappearing for some odd reason. Beophile.com writes that the Encore will have the ability to play compressed files from your iTunes library on your computer. That has me worried: Why the need to specify "compressed"? Hopefully it's a brainfart, and they haven't actually removed the ability

[quote user="Danny"] But nobody has actually tried this? Am I the only one with 1.500 CDs??? It is actually when this many CD's the advantage of digital storage is at its best[/quote] I don't have 1500 cd's, but only around 8-900. Add to this a lot of 24 bit stuff, the vast majority of that audio is my own (both "real audio"

I'm not trying to kill the messenger. I am bitching about the product if it pans out as per Trip's information. I am grateful that he does divulge information. I just hope that Struer does this right when the product materialise and we are able to buy it.

[quote user="TripEnglish"] So far the disappointments are your own inventions.[/quote] Of course the disappointments are my own, but I hinge them on what you say won't be possible. [quote]You also reference two products incorrectly: Beo5 MkII (I assume you mean the Beo6)[/quote] Yes, I do mean that. But the Beo6 is still a Beo5 MKII in
